“American Horror Story” actress Connie Britton, best known for her role as Tami Taylor in “Friday Night Lights”, officially became a mother to an adopted 9 month-old baby boy named Eyob from Ethiopia just a week ago.

The 44 year-old went through a three-year-long adoption process before she was able to travel to Africa to bring her baby home. Connie revealed the first moment she held the child in her arms was magical.

“It was such a wonderful moment of completion,” Connie says. “I thought I was going to collapse into a puddle of tears. I was just grinning from ear to ear.”

Baby Eyob was affectionately nicknamed Yoby by his new mommy who says “I am thanking my lucky stars every day.” Aw. Congratulations to Connie and baby Yoby!
